The Knesset Ethics Committee has ruled that MK Ofer Cassif (Hadash-Ta’al) will be suspended from the Knesset for six months and will forfeit two weeks of his salary.
The sanction, effective Tuesday, follows Cassif’s participation in proceedings against Israel at The International Court of Justice (ICJ) and his accusations against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel, alleging acts of massacre and war crimes against Palestinian Arabs.
This decision marks the most severe penalty ever levied on an MK by the Knesset Ethics Committee. The ruling was supported unanimously by committee members MK Moshe Roth (United Torah Judaism), MK Pnina Tamano-Shata (National Unity), MK Michal Woldiger (The Religious Zionist Party), and MK Sharon Nir (Yisrael Beytenu).
